To the ladies:

I think the Scripture makes a great point, Deborah was a JUDGE which is the civil leader of the nation of Israel and a PROPHETESS which is a spiritual leader. In Acts 2, your sons and your DAUGHTERS shall prophesy. The apostle Paul, mentions a number of women who are workers in the Gospel. You have in Romans 16, Phoebe, who is a servant, literally deacon of the church and then Paul mentions Pricilla and Aquila, we find that they jointly taught Apollos, a leading preacher. So, she was definitely a believing teacher. Then Paul mentions Andronicus and Junia. He says they were notable apostles. Then later he mentioned several other women like Triphena and Triphosa, and says they were co-workers in the Gospel. Acts 21, Philip the evangelist had 4 daughters who prophesied. The titles, apostle, prophet, pastor, teacher, co-worker, deacon – all of these technical terms the New Testament use for ministries -- all were used for women.

THUS LADIES! Do not be put off to spread the Good News, do not be intimidated when you write your view of passages and do not be ashamed what other people will say when you teach the Word. I regularly see great work from females that encourage me to study more. No-one will ever get too old to learn new things or views. Even if it comes from the wisdom of a female. Be blessed and stay blessed!
